"... “security” doesn’t exist in the abstract. You can only be secure from some threat... It seems obvious, but how often do we hear about “security” without any mention of who is being made secure, and from which threat?"

Anyone out there on Palexia (Tapentadol)? I’ve been on it about 7 years, 100mg twice a day, but my pain has been getting steadily worse. I’m seeing my GP tomorrow to discuss options but wondered if anyone had helpful info.

Struggling with arthritis pain today, left hip is really singing, have taken 1 ibuprofen. #ArthitisPain #PainMeds

(Marked sensitive because of pseudo-sexual content) Over the last 10 years you would be surprised how much I blame my pain medications for spurts of questionable inspiration. Still, after the fog clears, I sometimes look at my creation and say cooooool.

I should confess that I watched a documentary on HRGeiger while cooked. Im sure this had a role in outcome too. I call it “mind fuck,” and no, this is NOT included in my ETSY store, LOL. #digitalArt #illustration #hrgeiger #mastoart #painmeds

In the spring of 2015 I experienced the first of multiple surgeries and hospital visits for some spinal injuries. No big deal, I lived and I’m not paralyzed. However, before that, while the doctors and neurologists were trying to figure out what was wrong, I was prescribed a bevy of pretty powerful pain killers. My befuddled brain answered this circumstance with odd drawings and twisted rhymes. #digitalArt #comics #mastoarṭ #illustrations #painmeds #spinesurgery #throwbackthursday
